Au gratin signifies that the fish is gratinated or browned like toast on the surface, and therefore, that it is covered with bread crumbs. It comes handy to express it in that way, as the fish is not exactly breaded^ as for frying. ^ Split the fish in halves and dredge both sides with salt and pepper. Put a spoon- ful of drippings into your baking pan and let it get hot. ^ Dip the skin side of the sides of fish in either milk or egg, and then in cracker meal or crumbs and place in the pan with the breaded side up. Bake it brown and baste once with butter. Divide neatly in pieces with a sharp knife. Serve either sauce, gravy, or potato balls with it. 602— Blanquette lor White Dish) of Lamb with Fried Crusts.

Took the pieces of lamb cooked in the 49 COOKING FOR PROFIT. soup stock, cut into large dice. Boiled a ladleful of stock with teaspoonful minced onion, put the cut meat in and seasoned with salt and pepper. Made white sauce of ladleful of the finished soup (to save time) with cream, butter, thickening and scrap broken nut- meg and a tablespoon of mushroom cat- sup (private stock from the cook's valise) and poured it to the lamb. Serve v/ith cut shapes of fried bread for border and a sprinkling of green peas. cents each. 603— Fancy Shapes of Fried Bread.
